XBoxOne Discussion - New XBox Console

[BooSSted]

Damn, didn't know Thief was out, I gotta go pick that up! No issues with Netflix or ESPN here and I stream a ton of videos. Hardwired, Time Warner ISP... I also put my XBox IP in my routers DMZ removing it from the routers firewall. Never had any NAT issues; most routers have a gaming setting though too.

Edit: I disconnected the One from my network so it would be on Live and in 15 minuets I got to 50%. I wonder what its doing different when it's not connected to live. Like I said earlier I have a crap connection of 7Mbs down and .5Mbps up.

Hmmm that is a odd one..... Not sure why that would matter?!?!


Mine installed rather quickly and it was a download.

Yup took all night to install basically because once I connected to live it told me the game needs a 6Gb update. And then on top of that my netflix issues came back. Last night in 10 minuets of a dexter episode it buffered 8 times before I turned off the One and used my 360 and it never buffered except to start the episode.

Watched 3 episodes of 24 on netflix without a problem last night, then on the 4th episode, it got stuck on 99%

If it only does it on one particular episode of whichever show, it's probably an issue with that particular file on Netflix's server. I've experienced that before, where it gets stuck loading or it will start to play than exit back to the previous Netflix menu because it can't load the file. Netflix is pretty good, but they can experience corruption also.

I have no idea what menendez1293's issue is though.

Are you running wireless to your Xbox or hard wired? If wireless you could always try and get a cheap looooong cable from monoprice and see if that makes a difference for ya. It made a BIG difference for me(especially in FPS)..... If I am playing a online game I shut down the wireless and run it hard wired.



EDIT: Not sure if that makes sense or not.... To be more specific I completely eliminate my wireless router from the equitation. I run the cable from the wall to my modem and straight to the xbox.

Nope I'm hard wired to the modem so I literally can not get a better connection. The weirdest part is my 360 is on the wireless and it does Netflix a ton better then the XB1. I pretty much have decided the fault lies somewhere in the Netflix app or with XBOX live servers.

cant remember where i read from but if you disconnect your X1 from your internet then install the game it usually installs faster. then once its done connect back to the internet, restart X1 then let it download any updates the game may have. i tried it with forza and it worked.. good luck

Have to say I have not been to happy with Thief...

[FaytalsCamaro]

Yea heard it wasn't too great. Dishonored did it much better

How so? I haven't picked it up yet.

A small bit of people have liked it, but the majority of people and reviews are pretty negative.

I haven't really been able to play it a lot so I will reserve judgement for now.... that being said it didn't seem very impressive from the little I did play it.

First thing first the combat system is just plain garbage and the controls are a little awkward. If you alert any of the guards you either run and die or just let them kill you because you don't stand a chance.

The map is set up horribly and all the loading makes it seem like I'm playing a game on my original 360. Plus they made the game so dark that it's difficult to find objects without focus vision which runs out quickly and is difficult to regain.

I find myself playing through the game with more annoyance than enjoyment. On the other hand I really liked Dishonored but in my opinion the two games don't compare.
